A very close inspection reveals 14 very very young plants, as if
someone fired a starting pistol, cos today another 7 are poking out.

Interesting. The "books" would be against sowing when you did. More usual
to sow after Feb or during October/November.

Your plants will be very young at a cold time. It may be worth putting a
cloche over them.
